ChainCatcher news, Wade Wang, founder and CEO of Safeheron, delivered a keynote speech titled "Safeheron: Industry-Leading Enterprise-Level MPC Self-Custody Solution" at the "Web3 and Security" sub-forum of the 2023 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, and participated in a roundtable discussion with guests on "Asset and Privacy Security."During the keynote, Wade Wang announced that Safeheron is officially open-sourcing multiple MPC-ECDSA protocols, including GG18 and GG20, as well as the renowned CMP protocol. This marks Safeheron's second open-source initiative on underlying algorithms following the open-sourcing of TSS-RSA, and it will continue to promote the open-sourcing of more core code. At the same time, Safeheron is collaborating with the security teams of SlowMist and Amber Group, as well as the research team of PlatON, to advance the construction of open-source libraries and communities.The open-sourced protocol library not only supports the Secp256k1 curve but also various elliptic curves, such as the STARK curve used by StarkEx and StarkNet. Therefore, MPC wallets designed based on the Safeheron open-source library can also protect private keys more securely and manage assets efficiently in StarkEx scenarios, alleviating concerns for enterprises regarding internal and external malicious activities. Additionally, the community can customize different solutions based on this open-source protocol.
